[CQ-Contest] Load testing a 50 amp supply?

[Dallas and Lucy]

What an idea.  I went over to the shack yesterday afternoon to give this a
try and it worked great.  Unfortunately, I got a call at about 10:30 last
night from my XYL who said I needed to come pick her up from BINGO.  Said
the lights wouldn't come on on the Jeep.

Man am I in trouble!!!
